I performed a simple experiment yesterday evening using flour and a
selection of simple objects, and confirmed that flour does indeed create
very accurate prints of the objects impressed upon it. Sadly at this point I
got carried away, added some butter and sugar, and made an extremely fine
fruit crumble. I have thus eaten the evidence for my claims, but am prepared
to go on Canadian TV and state what happened.
